These are the wooden escalators at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City.
Those escalators weren’t boring for that kid who lost a finger.
From The New York Post:
A 4-year-old boy shopping with his mom at Macy's in Herald Square suffered through a horrific accident when his finger was sliced off by one of the store's famous old wooden escalators, relatives and cops told The Post.
Little Maxlee Gell was riding with his mother, Natalia, on the third floor shortly after 7 p.m. when he stooped to pick up a bottle of water he dropped and "his finger got caught in the escalator," the mom said.
Cops rushed the severed digit on ice to Bellevue Hospital, where doctors were attempting to reattach it last night.
Macy's spokeswoman Elina Kazan said the escalators are properly maintained but declined to comment on anything specific because the accident is under investigation.
